I'll also chime in: Don't ever get a pet. Just did groceries today, $100, 18 of which went to fucking catfood and litter. Pets are expensive. As sol has already said above, these are values that were taught to this generation by a generation that lived in very different times. Don't hate yourself over something that is out of your control, just work towards the day where it is possible.

I can't really picture him as Thrawn TBH. I mean, he has the face for it, but every time I picture Thrawn I can only think of Benedict Cucumber.
Where is Thrawn in the new timeline anyways? I haven't seen Rebels. In the old timeline he comes back from his campaign in the unknown regions to lead the remnants of the Empire and dies shortly after Palpatine's clone is revived. There's no indication Thrawn is even around in the sequel trilogy.

"He was very angry at what he saw." This seems to contradict that though. Sounding like what he meant by "If he was a little later" to be taken as "If he was President a little later" and not necessarily alive a little later. I can't comment on the Jackson/Civil War topic itself because I know nothing about it, but c'mon now. Trump's a moron, but we don't need to be nitpicking at everything just to further solidify what we already know.

I keep telling my brothers we need to do a road trip one day. Part of why it's considered a milestone is because you're doing it without any supervision. You're creating your own bonds and relationships outside any control by someone above you. I dunno, I kind of did it with my brothers back in high school and it's a memory I still fondly hold. I wonder why going on vacation with your friends is considered a life milestone.

being in debt doesn't I agree, no one says you have to buy a house in installments. being alone and independent doesn't I agree with the alone aspect. I'm currently in a three bedroom house all by myself with just two cats and it's....really depressing. However I wouldn't give up my independence for anything. Having to move back in with my mom and sister would emotionally kill me. Owning a house is a really good way to force yourself into being stuck in a single area. I wanna travel for dayzzzz man I like to travel but having a single place I can always come back to and rely on is calming.

I dunno bruh, having your own home sounds kinda comfy. i meant it in the sense that it's pretty much the only thing i have to look forward to in life

I'm pretty sure most people would skip the entire list to 60 if things like money and expenses didn't exist. >tfw literally the only thing i want to do on this entire list is retire

Not have a house? If money wasn't an issue I'd like a really nice house. Not that anybody in their right mind would want to lmao

I thought you still never had one? Guess I was mistaken. Are you still writing a book? - I got my first job two years late, and I hated it more than I've hated anything else in my life.

I asked for validation. It's easy to just say you're a professional at X on the internet without needing to back it up. That's why I would never call myself a historian and call myself an armchair one because it's just a hobby for me. Nor would I get upset at people asking me for validation when I say I know about the film-making process. After all it's what I'm going back to school for and took some classes on art though film when I first went. You say nobody really likes you, I doubt that but maybe if you weren't so aggressive right out of the gate, I have stated many times there's only one user on here I seriously don't like and it's not you, but that doesn't mean certain users aren't difficult from time to time. Even some of my favorite users on here royally piss me off a good amount of the time they're online. And furthermore, this is about TRUMP. ive had history professors who would gladly join me in labeling jackson as evil. you can disagree all you want, i cant control your life, but attacking my credentials & all the hard work ive put in to understand something i care deeply about is fucked up. i know aint nobody here actually likes me but damn.

This is what I was talking about half a year ago over perceived tone on the internet. I'm in a really good mood tonight, however a thread that was supposed to be about Trump being a bumbling idiot about facts is now about perception of good and evil. Out of all the history professors I've had, and all the historians that have chimed in on Jackson, including the interviewer of Trump tonight, they have steered clear of using the term "evil". Because he's not so far on the edge as Hitler. No one denies his serious wrongdoings, but controversial is a more appropriate term. dont have the degree yet. im taking things kinda slow because of extreme depression + anxiety ruining my life. but im a senior. dunno why youre so adamant about this shit man. i know we've had disagreements in the past but you're just being petty rn

not in jackson's case Would you call the majority of the country at that time evil? He was their hero and still was long after his death. you walk around acting like you're hot shit for years cuz your degree path is english or lit or w/e and i cant say im a historian after studying history exclusively in college for the last 5 years? lol. >Still hasn't posted proof

« on: May 01, 2017, 11:04:42 PM »
my degree is in history. lol.
Post it. there are many forms of evil, i don't like throwing around the word in a general sense Would you say it's a difficult word to pin on an individual that has done significant good for their country?

Would you call him evil? i said he was perhaps the best first president we could've asked for

>Hitler understood the need of unions and as a construction worker (when he initially started Mein Kampf) wanted strong social services under the control of the government for the people in times of need >This is a far-right wing ideology Meanwhile, you never did counter the sources I provided nor did you when I proved to you that Imperial Japan had no intention of surrendering even after the first bomb dropped. You're the revisionist here. EDIT: No wait, you did provide a source for the Nips and it only backed up my claim that they had no intention of surrendering. The Emperor was willing but everyone else (who was controlling the emperor like a puppet) did not. dude you thought hitler was left wing lmfao get your revisionist bullshit out of my face

« on: May 01, 2017, 10:46:32 PM »
I know that's factually untrue, because you wouldn't make such a stupid comment like that. But I shouldn't expect much from a Imperial Nip apologist, seems your idea of "Evil" is very warped and needs a reality check. im an actual historian so i guarantee i know more about this shit than you do lol

« on: May 01, 2017, 10:45:32 PM »
I edited it out because it had no bearing on the argument but it still holds true. People whining about someone like Jackson being "downright evil" are the same people that decry Washington just for even owning slaves. They honestly don't give a shit and if they did it would require them to denounce any of the positive aspects of the country we have over such events. it was wise of you to edit this out
you were too late though

>Lost his entire family to the revolution >Forced to fight at a young age >Political opponents attacked his wife, causing her so much stress it killed her >Entire country wanted him to do what he did with Indians, it was a net gain for the country even though it was wrong >Having all that happen to you and not ending up fucked up If you're going to argue with an armchair historian, make sure you know as much about the subject material as they do. he was a controversial figure, nothing more. a genocidal maniac="merely a product of the era he was from"

One can not deny the tremendous amount negativity General Jackson has caused. However "Evil" is not as black and white as you make it out to be. Jackson is controversial, but he also did a lot of net good for the country and that is also undeniable. He is merely a product of the era he was from, and one should remember that when judging former leaders. jackson is one of the most evil motherfuckers to ever preside as president of the USA, and that's a position with a lot of evil motherfuckers.
